ADSL is history, it only ever made sense in rich countries where physical copper cables were pre-installed in homes. While rich countries have moved to fibre, the rest of the world won't use ADSL either because there is no copper cable to begin with. So it's actually cheaper to just lay a fibre cable for a new install.
